Between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter, there is the asteroid belt. This is made up of millions of small rocks that are in a direct orbit around the sun. Most of these objects are boulder sized or smaller, but some are quite large. The largest is a Dwarf planet called Ceres, which is around 975km in diameter. Its the only one in the asteroid belt called a dwarf planet as it it big enough, and has enough gravity to make itself into a spherical shape.

There is a dwarf planet called Ceres, but no planets.
There is an average of 3.7 AU (340 million mi or 550 million km) of distance between the planets Mars and Jupiter, so there could be many things, including asteroids and comets at some point during their orbit. However, the main thing between Mars and Jupiter is the asteroid belt.

Where is the largest gap between planets?
No. It is Mars and Jupiter. It is the biggest gap due to the asteroid belt
What is the distance between mars and Jupiter's called?
There is a region in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter that, some scientists believed, ought to contain a planet. Early astronomers started looking for a planet in that gap, and found instead tens of thousands of small bodies that they called "little star-like thing". It sounds better in Latin; "Asteroid". So the area between Mars and Jupiter is sometimes called the "asteroid belt".
What does Mars orbit?
The orbital gap between the planets of Mars and Jupiter is referred to as the Asteroid Belt.In the Asteroid Belt are a widely-scattered assortment of space rocks (called asteroids), some of which are large enough to be visible from Earth. There are many millions of asteroids, but the region is so large that they are usually thousands of miles from each other. The dwarf planet Ceres is the largest object in the Belt.
What is the cassini gap?
If you look at a picture of Saturn, you first notice its rings. Look closer, and you also see a gap between some of the rings. This is the Cassini Gap.
Is there a small gap in the space between the terrestrials and the gas giants?
No, there is a large interval between the inner, terrestrial planets and the outer gas giants, which is filled by the asteroids. It is not a gap in the sense that it is filled with other things.
Where is the largest gap between planets?
No. It is Mars and Jupiter. It is the biggest gap due to the asteroid belt
